The Meximobile

yea well we are close like as in grew up together and car clubs and yatta yatta

Chad, can I get that shifter tomorrow?

i dont know if i can bring it to you but yea if you can get a ride over here ill hand it over with the polished nob and black shift boot

Cool. Is the rubber thing at the top all torn up or is it in good condition?

i believe it's in good condition. I'll check it in a little when i go in the garage and do some work

I got the motor in and running today. Got some gremlins in my wiring that I have to sort out.

Without worrying with the wiring too much and just using a bump starter and jumping the coil to the battery, it starts. The idle's a little funky and I think the timing is a little off but that shouldn't be too much work. I've got to bolt the fuse panel to the firewall and double-check all of the wiring. Hopefully I'll have updates tomorrow.

Wiring's complete. The only thing I didn't verify was the front blinkers and running lights. Because of the bumper that's on the truck, I don't have the bumper lights. Should I run the corner lights as turn signals only or try to come up with a way to make them do both?

It's close!

both would be cool

I have tried just hooking the bumpers to the corners and it doesn't work so you would have to wire it directly from the switch or where ever the control is at. I couldn't tell you how to do this but i know you can handle it.

Making the corner act as both i guess would be possible....you would need probably two relays and yadda yadda (you can figure it out)

Nah, I'd only need one relay. I'll post a picture soon.
